‘Adam concurred with God, agreeing that the female was taken from the male.
Adam’s testimony is that the female was taken out of the the male (Hebrew ish). Adam does not use the generic term for mankind.

Gen 2:23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman (ish-shaw), Because she was taken out of Man (eesh).’

This is how I understand Gen 2:23 also, but for some God needed to call Adam, ish in order for him to have been ish (male) before she was taken from him. But I don’t see why Adam’s testimony would not be good enough.

just some thoughts…
